SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 626,493, dated June 6, 1899. Application filed October 19, 1898. Serial No. 693,94 8. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH HovsnrIAN, a citizen of the United States, residing in Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ironing-Boards; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appcrtains to make and use the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to ironing-boards; and it consists generally in an improved device of this nature and especially in a novel bracket for securing the board proper to a table or other suitable supporting meansand also in the combination and arrangement of the various parts of the device, substantially as will be hereinafter more particularly pointed out, and embodied in the clauses of the claim.

The invention is fully illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of the improved ironing-board attached to and supported by a table. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of what is shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an enlarged view, partly in section and partly in elevation, of the device as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

Referring to the said drawings, wherein the letters of reference indicate parts hereinafter correspondingly designated, or represents the ironing-boardproper, suitably supported upon a table I) by means of a bracket 0, as hereinafter set forth. The bracket 0 constitutes a hinge'support whose two leaves or members (Z d are pivotally connected together about a bolt or pin 0, passing through alternating projections f f, which latter extend from the adjoining ends of said leaves or members; The leaf cl is suitably shaped, so as to receive the edge of the table I), and it is provided with a securing thumb-screw g, having a cushioned bearing-head g, thus constituting the attaching or clamp portion of the device. The other leaf is adapted when the ironing-board is sustained in its operative position to rest or bear upon the upper horizontal face h of the leaf (1. Said leaf cl is provided with a recess 2' wherein is set one end of the ironing-board proper.

The ironing-board proper is removably secured to the leaf cl by means of a screw 70, projecting upwardly therefrom (the leaf) and penetrating the board, said screw being provided with a suitable and removable securing thumb-piece, as 7r, constituting a thumb-nut.

As shown in the drawings, the ironing board proper is swiveled upon the bracket or support 0. This is effected by rounding off the end of the board which is secured to said bracket and providi ng it with an elongated curved slot l, receiving the screw it, and with a guiding-disk m, adapted to serve as a pivotal point about which the ironing-board may be moved and adjusted to various positions, said disk fitting into a correspondingly-shaped recess n, which is formed in the leaf (1.

From the foregoing it will be seen that I have not only devised a device which is simple and inexpensive in construction, but which is very desirable for use in ironing garments which require the raising or lateral horizontal movement or adjustment of the board in order to properly dispose them upon or with the latter in a convenient position for ironing.

In order to support the free end of the ironing-board, a chair (partially shown in dotted lines in the drawings) or other similar means may be employed.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

1. The combination of a bracket comprising two members,'one of said members being adapted to be clamped to a table or other support and the other of said members being hinged to, at one edge of, said first-named member and adapted to extend over and rest upon the same in its operative position, an ironing-board swiveled upon said last-named member and provided with a curved slot, and a screw having a removable thumb-piece and secured to said last-named member and penetrating the slot, substantially as described.

2. The combination of a bracket comprising two members, one of said members being adapted to be clam pod to a table or other sup port and the other of said members being hinged to, at oneedge of, said first-named member and adapted to extend over and rest upon the same in its operative position, an

ironing-board mounted upon said 1ast-named member and provided with a curved slot, .1 disk carried by said ironing-board and engaging a recess in said last-named member, and a screw having a removable thu mb-piece and Witnesses GEORGE HAMALIAN, ALFRED GARTNER.
